This Index is a list of Personal names (N.) in the Corpus. The listing is in the Tamil alphabetical order (with s at the end). The names are listed in col. 1. Emendations or corrections are in normal type within brackets next to the inscriptional forms. Names of women are marked (fem.), the others being those of men. Case-endings in the original are omitted.

Reference Numbers (as in the Commentary, ETE 2) of words and segments are given in col. 2.

Non-initial segments of personal names are also listed alphabetically alongside. Non-initial segments of composite names are indicated by a hyphen(-) placed before them; non-initial segments of compounds are indicated by double lines (⁼) placed before them. Full names are printed in bold and the segmented names in normal type. A simple personal name can occur in all the three positions; e.g., Nataṉ (48.4), -Nataṉ (44.1.c), ⁼Nataṉ (17.1.b). Caste, clan, family or occuptional names, even when they occur in lieu of personal names, are excluded from this Index. They are included in the Inscriptional Glossary and Etymological Indexes.

Details about the persons whose names occur in the Corpus will be found in the Inscriptional Glossary (Appendix I) and the Commentary, ETE 2.

Personal names including variants in the Corpus: 99.
